A new supramolecular bonding motif involving NH bonds of ammonium salts and macrocycles derived from platinum corners and butadiynediyl linkers†
Abstract
CuI catalyzes reactions of cis-(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt(C

CH2/1; 92–42%). Crystal structures of these or closely related species establish folded Pt4 cores containing ammonium cation guests, with NH/ and NCH/C
C hydrogen bonding. DOSY NMR experiments show that the host/guest relationship can be maintained in solution.
